Silver Koalas

21 Aug 2018 - Coins

The silver Koala coin is released by the Perth Mint in Australia annually. The coin was first released in 2006, and has been released continuously since then. The Koala series is currently only available in silver, however the Perth Mint did previously issue a Koala coin in platinum.

A History of the Silver Koala

The silver Koala coin is released each year by the Perth Mint in Australia. Each year the design of the coin is updated, and a new image of a Koala is found on the coin. This design makes the silver Koala coin very popular amongst silver coin collectors and numismatic enthusiasts. Generally, the silver Koala coin is manufactured in limited quantities, however the coin is available in a range of sizes, including 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz and 1 kg. 

The silver Koala coin series was launched following the success of the silver Kookaburra series, which was initially launched in 1990. Like the koala, the silver Kookaburra coin is updated each year, and has become popular with coin collecting enthusiasts.
